Invest in property

FAQ’s

Why invest in property?

For many years, property investment has proven to be a fantastic way to build wealth with a long term investment strategy.

Your property investment can be tailored to your individual situation and requirements, and this flexibility is invaluable to many people. You can choose the type of property you invest in and how much input and work is required from you over the course of the strategy, along with how long you want your investment strategy to last.

And of course, investing in property can give you the opportunity to provide for your family. This may be via inheritance or simply renting out your investment property to a family member.

Your Resolve Finance broker will be able to take all of these into account to ensure that you choose an investment property that suits your needs and your budget.

How is an investment loan different to a normal loan?

There are a number of differences between an investment loan and a standard home loan. In 2015, many lenders made changes to their investment lending policies to align with Government body requirements. Some of these changes resulted in higher interest rates on investment loans, along with changes to eligibility criteria. This makes it more important than ever to seek the assistance of your Resolve Finance broker before choosing an investment loan for your property. Investment Loans may also have different tax consequences, so we also recommend speaking to your accountant.

What is ‘gearing’ and how does it affect me?

Gearing occurs when you borrow money to fund the purchase of an asset. In property, there are two types of gearing:

Negative Gearing: When the cost of owning the property is more than the income the property generates every year. In this case, losses are able to be claimed as a tax deduction.

Positive Gearing: When the income from the property is more than the cost of owning the property every year.

Choosing whether you want a negatively or positively geared investment is a key consideration in your strategy. When deciding on your strategy and looking at your options for gearing, it is essential to seek professional tax advice to ensure that your strategy reflects your personal situation, and that you are fully aware of the tax implications of your investment.

Which type of loan is best suited for investment?

When investing in property, there are a number of loan types that are appealing. These loan types generally involve the ability to fix and minimise repayments. For example:

Fixed rate loans

The repayment and interest charges are fixed per year, allowing investors to prepay interest and claim this as a tax deduction.

Interest only loans

Work by only paying the interest on the property as opposed to paying off the property itself. This may work if the investor wants to keep their repayments to a minimum and anticipates making a profit on the property when it sells.

Both of these loan types can be tailored to your personal situation and used to maximise your investment strategy, and to ensure you get the best outcome, rely on your Resolve Finance broker guiding you every step of the way.
